Health Care Reform: A Toolbox for Patriots and Policymakers

With the collapse of Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare, attention turns to what Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and state policymakers can do to repair a health care system in crisis. The Heartland Institute can help!

Heartland is about to publish the fourth edition of its popular book, The Patriot’s Toolbox. Chapter 1 addresses health care reform, and a pre-publication draft of that chapter is available here.

According to coauthors Joseph Bast and Matthew Glans, “The good news is that policymakers can make health care more affordable and higher quality without increasing state budgets or the national debt, and without violating the freedoms of patients or health care providers. Enlightened legislators across the country are embracing parts of this ‘fresh start agenda.’ They offer guidance and leadership for elected officials elsewhere and for everyone interested in improving health care in the United States.”

Joseph Bast is a Senior Fellow at The Heartland Institute. He cofounded Heartland in 1984, serving as executive director then as president & CEO until January 2018. His research and writing focuses on climate change and energy policy.
